"You'll fail, then."

"... nrgh, I wish we could find, some sort of space ship, go up there, find out ourselves, and solve this mystery!"

I'm... kind of interested too now, in all honesty.

That's pessimism in the guise of realism.

I can do something to show the world that an invisible man can be a good man-

I do it everyday, looking for that recognition.

Its' why I'm a vigilante.

I care for justice- and when they see- that I do good- then maybe their opinion will change.

All is changeable.

"Gghhhh, I hate not knowing things! I hate it so much!"

"So what am I supposed to do? Start a skeleton charity? Make a nursing home run by corpses? ... that last one actually doesn't seem too bad, in hindsight. -god dammit there's the Evil Look again-"

Well, hey now, I mean... it's interesting, but it's not really... essential. You know?

Neither of those are particularly bad ideas.

As- silly as they sound.

It's the small things that matter, you work up to the bigger things.

At the start- I was content to stop maybe- one mugger a day if I found one- that was good- I still made a difference to someones' day.

-nods- Same for me, too.

Then- I wanted to make sure I could stop two a day. And that was fine- then I gradually moved up, and up- dealing with more serious crimes.

I investigated murders- cold cases- and the activities of organized crime.

I even stopped an arms dealer who would've conspired to terrorism. She- happened to be my half-sister, but that is besides the point.

-nods- Still- maybe the nursing home isn't the best idea- as funny as it is in concept to- have the nearly-dying of old age surrounded by the dead...

Although I guess if you think about it- death might not seem that bad all of a sudden, if you could continue on as undead so... It'd allow you to see your family still... I mean- some of this is just societal sensibility- and that isn't immortal.

"My family's dead, too. I'm the "survivor", if you would."

she's just gonna

home in on that one point

ignore everything else

"No, it eats away at me, knowing there's something I can't know!"

That's- unfortunate.

But, that wasn't the point we were making.

Yeah- and- you can have a new family. Orphans are still accepted by society- and some do go on to have loving foster parents... almost a new family.

Not officially.

But then- you could argue that's a loophole.

So no-one can really- arrest said adoptive parents.

Otherwise they'd have to pass a law on it.

As long as there's a chance- and you can open yourself up...

Not literally-

I think it's worth trying.

Yeah, of course!

-Trudy- Well, like... that thing with the obelisks in Egypt! y'know... how one has a shadow that's longer than the other, but if the earth was flat, they'd be the same length.

"I have my doubts for that. Besides, even if all of this were to be decided, when would they let me go? When would I be cast off to live my own life? I don't age, and they can't keep me forever. Again, I'll be a hundred in a few months."

"... Snap crackle and pop, you're right! I have no real grasp on the concept of what Egypt was like due to the universal boundaries that separate each other, but! It can't be hard to recreate something like that!"

Sometimes- you want to go into something, not thinking about the future- but thinking of what you could gain in the present- and savoring that time.

-nods-

We all have to move on eventually sometimes... but if you've found the right person- I'm sure they wouldn't mind taking care of you for as long as they were around.

"... And then when they pass, I could just bring them back. Of course, finding a family accepting of necromancy is about as easy as finding a four-leaf clover in a volcano. And if you could tell me someone who'd appreciate a child aiming for lichdom, that'd be just as nice."
